Jack Kevorkian is running for Congress. From the story:
Assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian is planning to run for Congress in Michigan. Kevorkian is on parole since being released from prison last year.He tells The Oakland Press newspaper that he plans to run without party affiliation for the congressional sea now held by Republican Joe Knollenberg.I made up the Human Vivisection Party to highlight an important point about Kevorkian that the media simply refuse to report or explore: Kevorkian’s goal was never to alleviate suffering but engage in human vivisection of those he was euthanizing, as this excerpt from page 214 of Kevorkian’s 1991 book Prescription Medicide makes clear:
Kevorkian is a megalomaniac who became addicted to the spotlight. Happily for him, the media are his pushers who provide him with attention but not scrutiny.I feel it is only decent and fair to explain my ultimate aim...It is not simply to help suffering or doomed persons kill themselves—that is merely the first step, an early distasteful professional obligation (now called medicine) that nobody in his or her right mind could savor. [Of course, Kevorkian isn’t in his right mind.] I explained that what I find most satisfying is the prospect of making possible the performance of invaluable experiments or other beneficial medical acts under conditions that this first unpleasant step can help establish.
